We're charmed by the Toyota Crown's bold style, excellent ride comfort and spacious cabin. High fuel economy is another big bonus. Performance from the base engine is lacking, and some shoppers may balk at the price, but overall we highly recommend the Crown for sedan shoppers seeking something different from the norm.

Pros

Exceptional fuel economy with the base powertrain
Eye-catching style
Comfortable ride quality

Cons

Middling performance from the base powertrain
Not much space for small items in the cabin
Costs considerably more than rival hybrid sedans

What's new

Unlikely to have significant changes
Part of the first Crown generation introduced in 2023

Overview

The Toyota Crown returns for its second year without any noteworthy changes. Much like the Avalon that it replaced, the Crown is a bit of a tweener: not quite a full-size sedan but definitely larger than a typical midsize sedan. But Toyota has done a lot to make it different from most other sedans, including giving it a tall profile, an available two-tone paint job and standard hybrid power.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Toyota Crown XLE 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.50 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: All Crowns are hybrids

The Crown is offered in two hybrid versions, both featuring four-cylinder engines and standard all-wheel drive. One of them puts an emphasis on efficiency, while the other skews more toward performance. In the XLE and Limited, the powertrain makes 236 horsepower and gets an EPA-estimated 41 mpg. That's impressive for a big sedan especially since it has standard all-wheel drive. For the Platinum trim, Toyota gives the Crown a performance-oriented hybrid powertrain called Hybrid Max. It produces a stout 340 hp, though you will give back 11 mpg combined for that power boost.

Competitors to consider

The Crown's price and features give it quasi-luxury ambitions, and it compares closely with the Lexus ES on price. There's also the Volkswagen Arteon, which is also nominally a midsize sedan though it offers extra room as well in the back seat compared to most vehicles in this class. It has an upscale interior as well. We also recommend checking out the hybrid versions of the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata. They cost less but still provide excellent fuel economy and comparable interior space.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the Crown drive? We didn't have high expectations for the Crown's driving experience given it's a large comfort-focused hybrid sedan. But our test car, a Crown Platinum with the upgraded Hybrid Max powertrain, surprised us. It's an enjoyable and easy vehicle to tool around in. Acceleration is smooth from a stop and responsive when you need to pass on the highway. It's properly quick too. At the Edmunds test track, our Crown test car zipped from 0 to 60 mph in just 6 seconds, which is significantly quicker than most of the competition. Unfortunately, the XLE and Limited trims aren't nearly as quick.

The Crown, despite the modest grip from its all-season tires, feels wholly willing to play a bit on curvy roads. Its limits are relatively low, but it keeps its composure and delivers enough feedback to give you confidence in exploring its capabilities.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Crown? The Crown delivers on comfort. Our test car was top-of-the-line Platinum trim so it came equipped with an adaptive suspension. It provides an excellent ride over pretty much any surface you throw at it. The softest settings worked great for dealing with some of the worst road surfaces, and even the sportier settings still felt pretty cush but cut down on some of the body motions.

The cabin is also very well insulated against wind and road noise. We found the upgraded Hybrid Max powertrain in the Platinum trim to be pretty quiet in our testing, but the standard hybrid is noticeably noisier when you go hard on the gas pedal. Another area where we think the Crown falls a bit short is rear seat comfort. Though spacious, the rear seatback angle is off, so you have to adjust a bit before you can find a reasonably comfortable position.

Build & Price

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? The Crown has a slightly elevated stance compared to typical midsize family sedans, and that helps with getting in and out of the cabin. Generous door openings provide good head clearance. Space inside is relatively abundant, but we wish the driver's seat would offer more adjustment and go a bit lower because of the odd SUV-like view out of the front. Otherwise, the Crown offers pretty good visibility thanks to a wide rear window and small blind spots. The Platinum trim's surround-view camera system also helps a lot while parking.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? Toyota has really bolstered its tech offerings in its recent vehicles, including the Crown. The touchscreen user interface has a bit of a learning curve to it, but the good news is the physical controls are all straightforward to use and easy to see. The standard 12.3-inch touchscreen is generously sized and responsive to use. The latest Toyota software also looks more modern too. Toyota's voice recognition system is now one of the best in the business, and it allows you to control functions like the climate temperature or even ask it questions like a smart home assistant.

All Crowns come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, the latest suite of advanced driver aids Toyota has on offer. Most of the functions, from the adaptive cruise control to Proactive Driving Assist, work well to reduce driving stress and aren't intrusive in typical driving.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The Crown's trunk, at 15.2 cubic feet of capacity, is average in size. The rear seats fold down to increase cargo space should you need it. Up front, the moderately sized center armrest bin has dual hinges that allow you to open it from the driver or passenger side. Clever! Otherwise, storage is mainly limited to the wireless charger ahead of the shifter and the expandable cupholder with its removable partition. The glovebox is tiny, and there's no overhead storage for sunglasses.

If you need to install child safety seats, we found the top tethers to be pretty easy to access, which is uncommon with most sedans. There's a lot of rear seat room to maneuver seats in and out, and the Isofix anchors are readily accessible behind the removable pull tabs.

Fuel Economy

7.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Crown with its base powertrain will get an impressive 41 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The more powerful Crown Platinum with its Hybrid Max powertrain (which is what we tested) drops considerably to 30 mpg combined. And in our testing, it was even worse, posting an underwhelming 26.9 mpg on our standardized test route. Perhaps this was an isolated result, but it could also indicate that the Crown may be more thirsty than its official numbers suggest. A little too Max and not enough Hybrid.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Crown a good value? The Crown's interior design is a little underwhelming considering its price. The interior is well built, like any other new Toyota, but nothing inside looks premium or even premium-adjacent, which you might expect considering the Crown's elevated price compared to rival sedans. We do believe the bulk of the car's cost goes into the hybrid powertrain, but that may not be a convincing enough selling point for potential buyers.

Toyota's warranty coverage is pretty common for the class with three years/36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain. The first two years of scheduled maintenance are also free.

Wildcard

8.0/10

In Hybrid Max form, the Crown is more fun to drive than we expected. It feels a bit heavy but it has decent power and is willing to move if you try to coax it into some corners at speed. While we aren't fans of the two-tone paint treatment that Toyota offers (seriously, guys, who thinks that looks good?) the Crown's overall look is futuristic and gets some attention on the road. Its slightly elevated ride height is also an interesting design choice but has some ergonomic benefits and adds to the overall uniqueness of the Crown's persona.

Which Crown does Edmunds recommend?

Since the Crown itself is a carryover from last year, so is our recommendation for the base XLE trim. It comes well stocked with standard features, and though the Platinum offers the flashier powertrain, it comes at a big step up in cost and a step down in efficiency.

Toyota Crown models

The 2024 Toyota Crown is offered in three trim levels: XLE, Limited and Platinum. The XLE and Limited have a 236-horsepower hybrid powertrain, while the Platinum uses an upgraded version with 340 hp. The XLE and Limited trims use a continuously variable transmission, while the Platinum features a traditional six-speed automatic. All models come with all-wheel drive. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Crown's key features and options.

BT, 10/12/2023

2023 Toyota Crown Limited 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I have about 1,600 miles on the 2023 Crown Limited, so the hybrid-4 cylinder, no turbo. Heavy metal (AKA gray) exterior with the black interior. They make a black interior with brown inserts, not my taste. Pros: -Sport mode is sporty enough for me, acceleration is shocking for a 4 banger. -ECO mode is economical. -Handling is great with the AWD. -No traditional battery, no starter, no … alternator. It has the big battery and 2 motors (MG1 & MG2, go down that Youtube rabbit hole with caution) that charge it with either regenerative braking or simply the rotation of the wheels. -Ride is good, not necessarily luxurious, but quite nice. The wheels/tires on the platinum made it noticeably rougher. -I haven't seen another one on the road. When people see it, this is pretty much everyone's comment: "wow, I like it. What is it? It's sporty." So, yeah, it's a "sedan", 4 doors and a trunk, but a pretty nice looking one made by Toyota. -Also, big for me, is that the Crowns are manufactured exclusively in Japan. Maybe a big deal, maybe not, but I've read that Japan-manufactured 'yotas are better-built (ex: 4Runners). -Weird pro, the console opens on both sides (towards the driver or towards the passenger). -Actual buttons for the fan/temp/seat temps and a real volume knob. I think this is a theme for most Toyotas / Lexuses (or whatever the plural for Lexus is). -The touchscreen is bright and fairly intuitive. -I'm 6'3" and fairly long-torsoed (or however you say I'm long from waist to the top of my cranium), and I fit. There's not schoolbus-like headroom, but I don't notice it being cramped. -Parking sensors are crazy awesome; it has zones and shows you getting closer to an object...in the last zone it really lets you know that you're about to hit something. -MPG 47.4. Yeah, I'm trying to inch that number up, just for fun. Believe the published MPG (42/41 city/hwy), you'll get that or better. UPDATE, after 8,000 miles of driving, I'm right at 44.8mpg. Still better than it claims, but down slightly. Highway driving at high speeds is what drops it a little bit. Cons: -No sunglasses holder, weird -Should be a hatchback, already looks like one -Panoramic glass should open! I love a sunroof...a glass roof is fine UPDATE: the trunk and trunk opening are just to small. Needs a hatchback style rear end and a slightly larger trunk space. That's it! Everything else has exceeded expectations. For comparison, I drove: Audi A5/A6, Volvo S90 Inscription, Subaru Outback, Toyota highlander & Tundra. The Crown is compelling, takes 87 octane (no ethanol for me though) and looks nice / drives nice. Not going to thrill you, but for some reason it makes me smile. Hope you enjoy yours.

Test drive before you say anything!

After 2 Camrys and 2 Avalon Hybrids and finally the Crown Limited AWD, how can’t I be happier with this ultimate upgrade! Ride comfort is much better, higher visibility, 41/42 MPG with added benefit of AWD. YouTube Crown bashers probably are not familiar with Toyota’s reliability, cost of ownership and resale value. They don’t know what they’re missing. Crown is Toyota’s flagship before …

Toyota Crown vs. Lexus ES 300h

The Lexus ES is a luxury midsize sedan that is a bit smaller than the Crown, but it offers a more upscale interior and smoother ride quality. These two are actually pretty close on price as well, so if you don't need the extra room the Crown offers, you can make the jump up to a luxury sedan for not much more money.

Toyota Crown vs. Volkswagen Arteon

Like the Crown, the Volkswagen Arteon harbors dreams that push it close to luxury territory — but the Volkswagen does a better job of almost reaching those heights with a spacious, well-appointed interior that has an attractive design and high-quality materials. Its hatchback is also more accommodating than the Crown's. But again, the Toyota wins on fuel efficiency and offers more value than the Arteon.

Compare Toyota Crown & Volkswagen Arteon features

Toyota Crown vs. Genesis G80

We might as well compare those luxury aspirations against a legitimate luxury sedan, and the Genesis G80 is the most affordable of the midsize luxury bunch. But don't let that fool you. Its cabin is seriously upscale, and it comes loaded to the gills with features and style. It's got a regular trunk so you won't get as much cargo capacity as the Crown, and the G80's gas-only powertrain is (once again) less efficient.
